Merry Christmas!


Hi there!

Happy Saturday to you!  I was so happy to see the weekend this week...whew!  I put in more work hours this week and was happy to get to my craft table this morning!  I recently saw a quote..."Keep Calm and Make a Card".  Well, let me tell ya the stress all melted away when I made this card.  I was in a happy place again!:-)  Anyways, a little about my card.....

I started with a white card base and paired it with some fun MME paper.  The tree dies are from Spellbinder's.  I added a border with gems and twine at the top of the card.  A lovely felt MS flower in the top left corner.  The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy.  And, there you have it another Christmas card made.  I am way behind on making them, but I have a few done.  I'm just happy that for the next couple weeks I'll be able to do more card making and decorating for Christmas.  I'm starting to get into the holly jolly Christmas spirit...are you?:-)  Ok, that's all for now.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend, hugs!  Thanks so much for dropping by!

    I can't seem to find the Christmas spirit this year but I think it will kick in after Thanksgiving. I sure hope so.
